Aircast Leg Support Brace with/without Anterior Panel - Adjustable Knee Stabilizer for Sports Injuries, Arthritis & Post-Surgery Recovery - Perfect for Running, Basketball & Daily Activities

Ankle area uncomfortable if not aligned perfectly with the leg. I recommend wearing knee length sports compression support socks with tube socks over them. I had stress fractures in both legs and was given just crutches. I was supposed to have boots and never was given them. I bought these because since I'm buying my own splints and so had a choice, and having boots on both legs would make doing anything impossible. These provided enough isolation and support along with the compression support socks that I could walk, slowly, without crutches which made everything easier while my legs healedHave a fractured fibula which was surgically repaired with intramedullary rod implanted inside the bone. This was the best method to help mend the fracture and become weight bearing quickly rather than a plate which requires a longer time to heal before becoming weight bearing. Doctor recommended splinting for a couple of weeks and agreed to the Aircast brace which will allow me to remove for bathing. Great outcome for a very active senior. I ordered the brace with the Anterior panel but immediately realized that it was unnecessary and better suited for people with very narrow chicken legs. The kit comes with 2 well made socks which makes having the brace on more comfortable.Not really a fan of the air pockets on the side. One holds air, the other leaks easier....BUT that being said, even without air it does provide a good support to the leg. I had rod insertion done 3 months ago. I’m really tired of the boot, but some days my ankle and lower leg still get exhausted going without anything all day. This provide a comfortable support that made the fatigue feeling subside. Worth it if you only need it here or there. IMOI opted for this instead of a full boot when I was told my tibia was highly susceptible to a stress fracture. It took a few days to get used to and I could only wear it with one pair of sneakers I owned. But it definitely provided the support I needed over a 6-8 week period. I didn't need to use the front plate. I think it's only really necessary if the circumference of your leg is larger than average.Product worked well. Helps support leg. A bit uncomfortable to wear for a length of time but did it’s job. Two socks come with which is a plus but they get dirty quickly and gross. Would recommend to anyone.I broke my tibia and have a 9mm intermedial nail surgically implanted inside the bone. Doctors said I didn’t need any other support, however I wanted something to help with recovery rather than have no cast or anything protecting the leg. The aircast does not give you a lot of support really, but does provide some stability and helps with weakness. Also protects the leg from other people bumping into it and makes a visual note to others that you have actually done something serious to your leg so is a warning for them to be mindful.Excellent alternative to a “boot” or “walking cast”. Had a stress fracture re-occur in my Tibia and purchased this becauseits what a Sports Medicine Doctor put me in one years ago and the VA does not have them.Good qualityFractured Tibia, works geat to keep me mobile
